We covered it at UML, but without very much forecast application. 

Still brutal, but I think right after I graduated they started to implement more forecasting classes and less hardcore dynamics/physics classes. My class took the full brunt of it.

Lol...the dream of every met major that is also a weenie.

I see that calc is a big preqreq of a lot of met programs.  What part does calculus play in meteorology or in earning a met degree?  Iow, why is calculus an integral skill?

What do think for us this storm? Ride the Euro? Amounts?

Better than the last one lol. I think it pounds but we do risk changeover at some point if it tracks too tight. I like Ryan's map but I might hedge more towards 6-10 for us instead of 3-6. We shall see.

Nice Ya know I am like Scooter even though we didn't have snow that was a KU storm to me. I was stunned at the Gravity waves, you could time the gusts looking at radar. That 94 gust on BID GWave passed over my head and rotated down there. I checked my work Anemometer at the top of the 325 ft Obs tower, gust was 92 , wow. High gust at 30 feet was 59, highest ever

Expand  

Because you need to understand the calculus to understand how the equations that govern the atmosphere work, and working with those equations is a huge part of met classes.

I don't think there is a met program that doesn't require having multi-variable calculus and differential equations before taking the advanced met classes.

Have to say, this subforum is pretty funny between model runs.

I'm going to have to end my spree of relentless lurking to chuckle at calculus being an "integral skill". Tautologically true!

You mean the Storm at the end of Jan 11 or snow for the month rivaling Jan 11? Because one could make a case for both...

When I went it was in the late 70 early 80's. Like it or not it was calc, calc, calc. Many of the true geeks I went with went on to write some of these models. But, I get off track. Dend,,,, my favorite part of the synopsis was describing 'bathroom break'. It was a LOOOONG time ago but that brought back memories. THANK YOU

True I like the path of the redeveloping L.P. like Jan 12th 2011

Just about every Science based degree is heavily reliant on calc...i had to take calc 1&2 for mechanical engineering

Depending on the model, expect some flakes around 7AM...but really light.  I’m expecting (Central Mass) less than a half inch by 10AM or so...maybe noon.  Heavies come later in afternoon

Lol...the calc part was a waste for me.  Gawd those classes were hard.  Glad I got to take stats and Fortran for math requirements after those. 

My favorite undergrad classes were glacial and Pleistocene geology, Hydro, Anything with Dr. Eby, who is still there...
